 What is Crutchfield's specialty? ATV shox, or off road shox in general? How about some company history.

 Hi guys it Ed Crutchfield owner of Crutchfield Performance.Our website is

http://crutchfieldracing.com

We don't have any shock info up yet.Our background is building circle track dirt & asphalt cars that are motorcycle powered by gsxr-1000 fuel injected engines that we also build in house.This is our 11th year of building race engines & race cars.We made a clean sweep at florida speedweek winning every nite competing against 40 of the fastest cars in the us & canada.

I purchased a can-am 800 max a few months back and was impressed with the machine except for the suspension.Being a expert chassis tuner on the race cars I decided to go to work on the can-am.We are a bilstein motorsports shock distributor.I tryed numerous shock valvings & spring combos before coming up with one that I think is almost unreal.It loves the rough stuff.The faster you go the better it feels.

Pricing For the shock & dual spring set up is $695.00 per pair ready to bolt on.

Springs are avail.from 80# to 500# in 20# increments $60ea. so you can tune to your liking.


We will have 6 set ready to ship next week.


We can ship to anywhere

 Ed I think my setup would be perfect with 180# springs on the bottom half. 

Guys it's hard to explain the difference riding the Outty with these shocks and with the BRP shocks but it's like riding a different machine. A better, more tuned machine.

I plan on finding out how my Can Am handles with the Bilstein shox, as soon as the dealer comes thru with the fronts, i have the rears. Good to know that i can  spring them to my liking, though!

 The formula for effective spring rate using two stacked springs is

1/Keff = 1/K1 + 1/K2

180# is 180 lbs / inch if I am not mistaken.  So a 180# spring topped with a 70# spring gives an effective spring rate of 50.4#.

Outlandish I will send you a set of 160# out on monday.That will give you more choices on your ride.I would start with 200# pri.160#sec.If its still to stiff for your liking change the pri.to the 180# just return the ones you don't need.

Mikey v the bilsteins the can-am dealer sells are not in anyway the same as what I sell.The springs that i sell will not fit.The only thing they have in common is the name.

One more thing I will give everyone 30 day trial period with these shocks.If your not happy just return them for a full refund.THX. Ed

Great! I'ts sure nice to be able to dial in to my riding style and comfort preferences instead of a choice of just a couple clicks on the stockers. Thanks Ed

 Hi All,

I just got off the phone with Ed, a very smart chassis guy in the Auto racing world and it seems as if he has dedicated some time and thought to this Can-Am shock issue. Lucky for us!!!!

I Bought a set that he says should ship this Friday. I will give my impressions as soon as I get a good trial done. I race a Formula Ford in the northeast and will be crossweighting the 07 650 Max XT before and after the Crutchfields. I will be preparing a bump steer measurement and correction set-up as well, if there is anyone interested. THe Motion Ratio will be determined and from there can do a pretty good job getting a balanced quad. and maybe do without a steering damper.

More to come:)
